美国一女孩生日宴会竟烧钱3万美元

2011-02-25来源:环球网

  For most little girls, a cake will suffice for her sixth birthday. But not so for Gracie, whose mother Nicole spent a staggering $32,000 on her birthday party.

  对于大多数小女孩来讲,一块生日蛋糕就是对自己六岁生日的最好纪念。但对于小格雷西可不是这样,因为妈妈妮可为了给她举办生日宴会竟然花掉了32000美元!

  The astonishing costs include $3,000 on invitations, and $2,100 on a nine-tier cake. Nicole also splashed out one Cinderella carriage and actors to play jugglers and jesters in keeping with the medieval princess theme. Gracie was even treated to a day of spa treatments the day before the party.

  这项令人吃惊的开销中,3000美元用于制作请柬,2100美元则花在了一个九层蛋糕上。此外,妮可还给自己的女儿购置了一辆灰姑娘坐的那种四轮马车,还雇佣演员们表演杂耍扮演小丑,使得生日宴会充满了中世纪公主的调调。而在宴会前一天,小格雷西还做了一天的水疗。

  Nicole said: "This is going to be a fairytale fantasy party for her because she is still in that prime age where she still believes in fairytales."

  妮可说:“对于格雷西来说,这将是一个童话般的梦幻宴会,因为她正处于对童话笃信不疑的黄金年龄。”
